There is more to WEP student exchange programs than being an exchange student or hosting an international student!
World Education Program (WEP) Australia actively maintains child safe environments for all program participants and adheres to commonwealth and state regulations governing the safety of children. Our organisational culture nurtures a commitment to child safety through a comprehensive code of conduct, screening, supervision, training and effective leadership, activities for educating and empowering children, and processes for identifying, responding to and reporting suspected child abuse.
Staff and volunteers must have a valid Working with Children Check, complete a Fit & Proper Person declaration, sign their adherence to WEP’s Code of Conduct, and complete training courses in child protection prior to the start of their appointment with WEP.
WEP coordinators are an invaluable and a highly appreciated part of the student exchange experience. Their role is multifaceted and includes:
Although a volunteer role, WEP coordinators are reimbursed for expenses. Importantly, coordinators enjoy the opportunity to share the experiences of exchange students and their generous, warm-hearted, volunteer host families.
The WEP coordinator role is rewarding, flexible, educational and fun!

School presentations, talking to prospective students and parents, helping out at departure orientation sessions and WEP information nights are just some of the ways returned students stay in touch with WEP and help promote student exchange.
From time to time we have employment opportunities available both in our head office and interstate. If you are interested in joining our team please send a current CV and cover letter to info@wep.org.au.
